POE - Eric's fascination with the macabre life and work of the creator of murder mystery and science fiction - Edgar Allan Poe, inspired the first ever APP album Tales Of Mystery and Imagination and 30 years after its release, Eric decided to create a Tales of Mystery and Imagination volume 2. Whilst writing the album Eric realised that Poe's life and works would make a wonderful musical. POE premiered in a concert version at London's 'Abbey Road Studios' where a special set and seating was constructing in Studio 1 - a first of it's kind at the historic building. It went on to be staged for 18 months in Germany. Steve Balsamo and Anna-Jane Casey both starred in the Abbey Road concert version, which is available on DVD.
